Editorial Reviews

Editorial Review

SET is a card game of quick recognition and deduction. Each card contains one of three symbols (squiggles, diamonds, ovals) in varying numbers (up to three), colors (purple, green, red), and degrees of shading. A dealer arranges 12 cards, face up, and the players--without taking turns--hastily scrutinize the images for logical "sets" of three cards linked by combinations of sameness or difference. It's not as complicated as it sounds: examples include a trio of paired ovals with increasing levels of shading between cards, or disparate symbols in different colors which increase in number on each card (card one has a green squiggle, card two a pair of purple ovals, card three a trio of diamonds). The trick is to keep calm while trying to make the rapid connections. The Darwinian nature of the game (remember: everyone plays simultaneously) is certain to cause some feistiness among more competitive players. --Tom Keogh

Set Review4
I am a high school math teacher and when I introduced my students to this game they all went wild over it. I have my Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra and Trig students begging to play! It's easy to teach the rules and it improves their spatial reasoning. I LOVE IT!

Just a so-so game. Hard to catch onto at first. 3
I like the game to play it alone so what sense is getting a game? I could play solitaire. But it is kind of a neat concept but like I said, not so great to play in a group.

Awesome for everyone!5
I first saw this game in a public-radio catalog about 10 years ago, but never played it until this past holiday when 29 family members gathered for Christmas. A cousin brought it, and once everyone knew how to play, there would be people joining a game right and left! Tons of fun and easy to understand once you get the hang of it, I plan on buying Set as a gift for many friends. Highly recommended!
